Is Archlinux good for beginners ?

My arch install self destructed a few minutes ago from an pacman -Syu after more than a year of not updating

Just dont

Works on my arch installation :^)

let me guess, you didnt read the news section

yes, if you like spending more time fiddling around the system than being actually productive

I can still see pacman running so its not completly fucked

The news section didnt have anything that wouls say my X session would crash mid update

Its probably a kde thing.

The only thing i see is the cursor. But since the tty holding pacman is still active its technically not crashed yet

I also have a cute KisGep

important question, do you watch anime?

Try pic related. Beginner friendly entry, after that it is just regular Arch. You still get hated on not having installed arch the right way so don't beg for validation or attention on here.

Never, ever go more than 9 months without pacman - Syu.

Fool.

No. Just use Xubuntu or something similar like rational people do. I heard Linux Mint is nice.

not a problem if you update regularly. you left it a fucking year

Arch isn’t good for anyone.

Use one of the *buntus, or if you want something a bit more impressive for your r/unixporn dickwaving, Debian.

Not him but if he's performing a system wide upgrade wouldn't all of his outdated packages be upgraded by pacman therefore synchronizing all of his packages to the newest version and thus not breaking the system since everything is up-to-date? What exactly is the problem when you don't do -Syu for a long time?

this but with pic related

One of the big deciding factors that made me go with Antergos, or Arch as a whole I suppose, was it's compatibility with PlayOnLinux and Wine. I've messed around with pretty much all of the main distros there are to choose from and I almost always had problems getting both to work properly. For some reason I found Ubuntu and it's derivatives to cause me the most trouble.

This all probably stems from me being a retard with Linux but Antergos just worked for me.

In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit.

No because arch is shit

Use Manjaro, its base is Arch and way easier to maintain. Once you have the knowledge move to Arch.

Yup, it's a great n00b distro.
I've had nothing but success.
Nothing has broken.
Updates are a breeze.
Plus... install is super easy.

I do not mean to hate on Manjaro, after all I only tried it once in a VM and decided to take antergos instead. What I wanted to avoid is to depend on yaourt. There are claims that it installs some packages improperly whereas the install from a tarball on the same system would work without a hitch. I have not needed to do that very often yet, and I think that I would have been just as satisfied with many other Distros, but Antergos simply works, looks slick, and was sufficiently beginner friendly. I heard very little bad about Manjaro before my decision (but moreso by now), so I might have given it a spin if Antergos did not "just werk".

>yaourt
thats ancient software user, use trizen

Rec me a lightweight distro for pic related.

Max the RAM out, install an SSD, add a Readyboost drive, turn off ALL visual effects.

I maxed the RAM but don’t want to put any more money into it. Maybe an cheap SSD from Amazon if they become absurdly cheap at the end of the month.

I swear to god that's A-Log

mint minimal install + openbox

Selection bias.

It was my first Linux
Learned a lot through it
Much more than Ubuntu that's for sure because that's what was installed in my school and I didn't learn jackshit

Install any Linux without a GUI out of the box and you're good to go

It is good, but every update you will flinch in fear thinking if it will destroy your system.
